that's going to happen, but this is the track as we know it right now. then of course we have much different weather. it's been relatively calm here with a low-pressure system to our north and west bringing in the onshore flow and helping us to keep the marin layer rebuilding everyday, which is good news for us as we are going to our fire season. it helps to the moisture and dry fuels. rent temperatures right now, 57 degrees in san francisco, 60 in oakland, 59 in mountain view and good evening to you in napa where it's 56 degrees where you are. these are our lows tonight. areas of fog, partly cloudy and similar to what we had last night. pervasive fog in the northeast for tomorrow morning. we are caught between two pressure systems here. high-pressure will start strengthening for the weekend. that means that we are going to see the temperatures start to pump up for our inland communities. so at the coast we will still have the clouds that will keep you cool. if you are inland you could see some of those 90s. so here are tomorrow's highs and you can see where the 90s are there in the north bay, in the east bay. places like concord about 92 degrees, livermore 90, 93 at fairfield. but san francisco, 68, right on average we should be for this time of year, 84 in san jose. 00 extended forecast for the warm-up roles right and through the weekend and monday and we start

1876. a pretty good game, wouldn't you say? they are really tampering it with this year, just all kinds of wacky rule changes and one of them certainly affected the giants tonight, trying to do it again and come back against the padres. last night mike yastrzemski the walkout, today they get down 6- 1 and become the come back. donovan celano, one of the heroes last night will score with a shotgun the left-field line. the giants have two more in the seventh inning. come the eighth inning the walkoff here, you! deep center field. he will end up with an rbi triple to close the gap and eventually score the tying run on a sacrifice fly. we that extra innings, tied at 6-6. in the 10th inning the padres get to start the frame with a man on second, just a ridiculous rule. transgression starts, nobody out. tommy pham will bring him home with an rbi single to start a blowout. a six run inning for san diego. the giants managed to scratch back one run in the bottom of the inning but wind up short, we sure, 12-7. to spell the naysayers, the nba bubble is alive and well with a little trouble to report as they go with an opening night doubleheader. we start with the late game first and that's probably the two best teams in the nba, the lakers against the clippers, all taking a need for the anthem. and this guy certainly looks like he hasn't lost to be. lebron, even in the middle of summer, going strong to the hoop. he had 16 points. look at the fourth quarter, under a minute, clippers down three, get it to paul george, he is healthy and heading the three. he had 30 points, that ties things. he will go to the bucket and miss emma but alert following the shot and the lakers go up 103-101. with the clock winding down, of course lebron will walk down on paul george. he won't be able to hit, he cries foul, to no avail, and the lakers prevail 103-101. and the opener, as you would guess, all about zion. and he looks pretty good, even though he played only 15 minutes. he will get it from true holiday. 13 points in 15 minutes as the pelicans led the jazz by as many as 15. but here comes the utah come back led by donovan mitchell, of course. he floats one home, he had 20 and the jazz come back to when it 106-104. so two pretty good games to start the nba's phase two, we will call it. got a little time, so when i checked this out? raider fans, pay attention here. i don't know if you like it or not, but anthony garcia, a big- time raiders fan, sporting his new tattoo. because apparently he really likes second-year player out of alabama, josh jacobs. he took a lot of ridicule for this new ink on social media. but you know what, if he likes it, it's all good [ laughter ]. i would've waited for josh jacobs to maybe prove himself [ laughter ] but that's the sporting life. such as it is. >> we will see later, thank you. no air holes in the box. that's a good sign. lily loved having that chicken. one more time than she realized. listen, i just got an e-mail from our wedding singer. he has a small request. another one? since when does the wedding singer send us requests? well, no, he just wants to change a few songs in your medley to avoid overlap with the stuff that he's performing. well, i hope it's none of my showstoppers. oh, they're all showstoppers. [ chuckling ] oh, you're too kind. oh, my gosh, it's us. for our wedding cake. couldn't you just die? i really think i could. my dad made this. he's a world-class soap carver. you know, once, when i was a kid, i cussed, and my mom washed my mouth out with the leaning tower of pisa. she still blames herself to this day. oh, i would have nixed that wedding topper immediately, but cam and i have an agreement. we -- we each got three vetoes of each other's wedding ideas --
